Big milestone for us - last night Oona finally took a pacifier. Babies have a sucking reflex that they need to fulfill. It was sometimes heartbreaking to watch Oona struggling for satisfaction pre-pacifier acceptance. Even though she can now get her thumb in her mouth most of the time, when she is worked up into a frenzy and most needs it her coordination is at its worse. So it was a huge relieve when she accepted a pacifier to supplement her thumb-sucking.
Most impressive, with the help of said pacifier Oona was able to put herself back to sleep while in her crib. Once at 3:30am and again at 5:30am. I am so proud of her. Hopefully we are all about to enter the road to sleep filled nights. Well, at least five hours or so.
